About
I am currently in my first year of the two year Child Life Graduate program at the University of Iowa. After obtaining my Masters Degree in Child Life, I plan on taking the Child Life certification examination in order to obtain job placement in a children's hospital. I am passionate about helping children and families successfully navigate and cope with their hospital experiences. I also hope to one day bring my Child Life knowledge and experience to other countries and communities in need.
